there are too many people who buy into that outright deceitful "43 times more likely to" nonsense spouted by the Brady folks to make an informed decision. BTW, in order to get to that figure, they had to raise the age of "children" to 22, and include suicides and gang/drug related shootings.

I'm glad you never had to defend yourself...but it only takes once. Most people lead a pretty sheltered life up until the day it happens to them. And if you CHOOSE not to provide for your own safety, cool, that's up to you. I prefer to take a different tack, and I'm not suggesting what's right for me is right for you. I happen to live in a state that agrees with me, and at least 100,000 other Virginians have concealed carry permits.

As for evildoers, let me drop you off at the corner of 14th and T tonight as see how things for you lol.

One statistic that people who are against guns never talk about is the FBI one that cites 1.5 MILLION defensive uses of firearms per year in the US. In all but a handful of those cases, the weapon is not discharged. So, there are some people in this country who see things differently. Now, you'll NEVER hear about these kinds of situations in the papers.
